Python: Check the status code issued by a server in response to a client's request

Python Requests: Exercise-2 with Solution

Write a Python code to check the status code issued by a server in response to a client's request made to the server. Print all of the methods and attributes available to objects on successful request.

All HTTP response status codes are separated into five classes or categories. The first digit of the status code defines the class of response, while the last two digits do not have any classifying or categorization role. There are five classes defined by the standard:
1xx informational response – the request was received, continuing process
2xx successful – the request was successfully received, understood, and accepted
3xx redirection – further action needs to be taken in order to complete the request
4xx client error – the request contains bad syntax or cannot be fulfilled
5xx server error – the server failed to fulfil an apparently valid request

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import requests
res = requests.get('https://google.com/')
print("Response of https://google.com/:")
print(res.status_code)
res = requests.get('https://amazon.com/')
print("Response of https://amazon.com/:")
print(res.status_code)
res = requests.get('https://w3resource.com/')
print("Response of https://w3resource.com/:")
print(res.status_code)
print("\nMethods and attributes available to objects on successful\nrequest of https://w3resource.com:\n")
print(dir(res)) 

Sample Output:

Response of https://google.com/:
200
Response of https://amazon.com/:
503
Response of https://w3resource.com/:
200

Methods and attributes available to objects on successful
request of https://w3resource.com:

['__attrs__', '__bool__', '__class__', '__delattr__', '__dict__', '__dir__', '__doc__', '__enter__', '__eq__', '__exit__', '__format__', '__ge__', '__getattribute__', '__getstate__', '__gt__', '__hash__', '__init__', '__init_subclass__', '__iter__', '__le__', '__lt__', '__module__', '__ne__', '__new__', '__nonzero__', '__reduce__', '__reduce_ex__', '__repr__', '__setattr__', '__setstate__', '__sizeof__', '__str__', '__subclasshook__', '__weakref__', '_content', '_content_consumed', '_next', 'apparent_encoding', 'close', 'connection', 'content', 'cookies', 'elapsed', 'encoding', 'headers', 'history', 'is_permanent_redirect', 'is_redirect', 'iter_content', 'iter_lines', 'json', 'links', 'next', 'ok', 'raise_for_status', 'raw', 'reason', 'request', 'status_code', 'text', 'url']

Next: Write a Python code to send a request to a web page, and print the response text and content. Also get the raw socket response from the server.

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
